    I feel ya. I tire of the politics here, and it can get extremely left leaning, like pro-communism/pro-socialism/pro-fascism and very anti-American to the point where it’s a little sus. I get it, there’s always been anti-America sentiment surrounding conversations and in media all my life, but it’s a bit extreme here.

    I go onto social media to turn my brain off, not do elaborate research on the past 500 years of colonialism so that I can make sure I’m accurately arguing my point cohesively on this one comment. At the very least, I’ll engage with conversations about tech when I’m not turning my brain off, but I hate politics/debate. I want a DDR/Stepmania/Etterna community where we can discuss new themes released, new songs on various cabinets, etc.

      Fascism is not even close to left lol. But I agree there’s too much politics sometimes. I don’t mind arguing about it but it could be good to talk about other stuff. I suggest subscribing to communities that advertise other communities so we can help them.

      !trendingcommunities@feddit.nl !newcommunities@lemmy.world !communitypromo@lemmy.ca

      Also browsing by scaled sort has helped me discover some new communities that my instance is connected.

      And of course: https://lemmyverse.net/communities

      I know just finding a new community doesn’t guarantee it will have people in it, but we have to start posting in those empty communities and filling them with content. It’s something I need to do a lot better with, too. I lurk too much.
